The health benefits that can be derived from the consumption ofAcai berry , either in its natural or processed (food supplements as juice, capsule or tablet) forms include increased energy, protection against many forms of cancers (due to its high antioxidant levels), weight loss and a general feeling of well-being.
The fruit is harvested from the Acai palm (scientific name Euterpe oleracea) which grows in abundance in the flood plains and swamps of Central and South America.
